The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu has new details on the newly announcedValkyria Chronicles 4. As a last-ditch attempt at capturing the Imperial Capital, the Federation decides to initiate Operation Northern Cross.

Set during the same time-frame as 2008 original Valkyria Chronicles, this will be the first direct console sequel and is based around a whole new squad. The only thing is to see whether the friendship of the bonds of Squad E be able to survive the frozen battlefield. Valkyria Chronicles 4 will return to the series' roots, including the BLiTZ battle system, unique art style, and even the return of composer Hitoshi Sakamoto. New features include a new class called the Grenadier, in addition to numerous offensive and defensive battleship support options, chances for a unit to trigger a Last Chance action prior to death, all on larger maps than any of the ones featured in prior games. Inspired by watercolor compositions, the CANVAS Graphics Engine blends visual elements of reality and imagination to create an expressive world filled with colorful emotions. According to Mikami, Valkyria Chronicles 4 will be a "proper evolution that returns to [the series'] origins". Please visit the official Valkyria Chronicles 4 website for more information. It follows the release of the Valkyria Chronicles Remaster for the PS4 and Valkyria Azure Revolution that recently launched for the PS4, Xbox One and PS Vita.
